"Baryonyx Face-Off is a Recommended set anchored by an exciting new dinosaur species, a standout off-road truck, and a strong exclusive minifigure lineup, though its BrickScore of 72.7 honestly reflects that $0.138 per piece for 434 pieces is a price that multiple reviewers called slightly too high for what you get in hand."
Baryonyx Face-Off earned a BrickScore of 72.7 and a Recommended tier, with expert reviewers from Jay's Brick Blog, Brickset, JANG, and BrickQueen aligning on a core verdict: the Baryonyx dinosaur mold is the undeniable star of the set, and the off-road truck is better than expected, but the $59.99 price tag for 434 pieces at $0.138 per piece is a genuine stretch. Owner ratings are strong: 3,012 ratings average 4.80 out of 5, and 90% of LEGO.com buyers would recommend it, though value-for-money scores just 3.60 out of 5, exactly matching the expert concern.
Where they split: The Baryonyx mold itself split opinion: Jay's Brick Blog and Brickset found it impressive and exciting as a new species, while JANG and a LEGO.com reviewer pointed out the body is largely recycled Indoraptor components, producing anatomical inaccuracies. Most buyers noticed only the great paint job and articulation; anatomy critics were the minority but consistent.
